"Best case" for ey is that we have 1-2 injured TEs and they bring him back on board just like they did last year. There's no reason that couldn't happen as long as he stays in playing shape.
Other than that he will not be on our roster this year. Get over it and move on....
Meh. He might not be back, but who do you see that hasn't "moved on"? It's not like anyone thinks he could be a 1,000-yard, 10 TD guy if we just gave him a chance.

Seriously at this juncture I would rather have a rookie take the roster spot. ey is simply too slow and isn't worth the time, or cap space. People need to realize this isn't 2005 anymore ey isn't even close to what he once was. The man is so slow he can't stop quick at this point in his career......

Like irnbru pointed out,
What PEOPLE are you talking to? We all know Coooley hasnt got.much hope, but then again special teams and third down guys don't really need to be "fast" so long as they know the game. I doubt he gets a spot, if so it'd be a hb/ te/fb back up. While I agree he won't get a spot, I don't think he is as done as you make him out to be. Other teams seem to agree with me too...

Many people are still not understanding that ey is old and past his prime. As an example the person that created this thread first and foremost. It's like a national day of mourning when it comes to ey. Let it go!!! He's done!! He had a decent career and is well liked and respected.

He's not really that old tho...

ey is not likely to make the roster but that does not mean that 'he's done' ...
Chris ey deserves more than that
Until recently, Snyder & Allen have made a lot of really bad decisions - nobody with any sense believes this franchise will get better under their guidance Snyder's W/L record = 45% (80-96) - Snyder/Allen = 41% (59-84-1)

Exactly! Which is why you should let it go that folks like him and respect his loyalty to the team. No reason to knock him, or the fans that would like to have him be part of the team.

He's not old-old, but he has a lot of football miles on him. Remember when he, Moss, and Portis WERE the offense? Also, it's not like he was a nimble 4.4 guy who could afford to lose a step or two, he was always on the slower side and relied on his football instincts and brains to find openings and make plays. I think he's probably lost too many steps to make up for.
That said, I wouldn't be too worried if he had to start a game in a pinch. Like the song: "not as good as he once was, but as good once as he ever was"? Wishful thinking?

I have always loved ey, & he'll pretty much play for 100 bucks a game.
Hurts seeing his skills dwindle down to next to nothing.
What are ur honest thoughts on him, even in the NFL in general?
That's what you call "not understanding that ey is old and past his prime"?
Taking the debate over his skills aside, from a pure numbers standpoint--the 3rd Tight End rarely does anything other than contribute on Special Teams. Chris ey doesn't. Niles Paul does.
This is the second year from his injury that hobbled him. If he has a strong off season workout I think he could bounce back solid. If he does bounce back I think he could easily supplant Paul. Either way its all on eys health and how much work he is willing to put in at this point in his career.

ey is done and won't be back, best case is he signs as a coaching intern.
